If you were in the castle and the view was a hoard of Roman soldiers climbing up the hill, you might not think it was so fantastic. :) Perhaps the word I'm looking for is "drove" rather than "hoard".

I wish I knew more. <br /><br />I'm a direct descendant of William the Conq. all the way down to King John. So the history has a personal interest, as well. <br /><br />Excellent photos. <br /><br />My Photo Hunters is up. I hope you have some time to take a peek.
